Elementary Discussion Questions
How were the Gentiles saved?
Remind kids that Gentiles were saved just as the Jewish believers were: by faith in Jesus. Discuss how the Bible records how the Gentiles repented of sin, turned to Jesus, and were given the Holy Spirit.
Do you rejoice when others trust in Jesus? Why?
Answers will vary. Discuss how the greatest event that can happen in anyone’s life is to trust in Jesus as his or her Savior. Tell kids that salvation is more special than birthdays, vacations, getting new toys, etc. Encourage kids to celebrate and praise God when they hear about someone trusting in Jesus.
The church in Antioch grew after Barnabas arrived and encouraged the believers there. Why do you think the church grew after Barnabas encouraged the believers in Antioch?
Discuss how Barnabas encouraged the believers to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts. Explain that one way we can show we are devoted to God is by being obedient to His command to share the good news of Jesus with others. Discuss how sharing the gospel is how the church grows as others hear and believe the good news.
